Equal Protection?

We all know about Fred Phelps disrupting military funerals, claiming that the soldiers are being killed as God's just retribution against the US for condoning homosexuality, right?

Well suppose, instead, there was a group going around disrupting those funerals, claiming that the soldiers were being killed as God's just retribution for the oppression of gays, or Indians, or the environment, or whatever. How long do you think the protesters would remain out of jail? And if, by chance, they weren't locked up, what would the over/under be on how many funerals before they were assassinated while the authorities looked the other way?

•  Some issues are better left undiscussed

  Fred Phelps is one of them.

  In fact, he's the prime example. Any attention he gets is too much.
